The Co-Dependent Me Podcast

Martina Gruppo was with what she thought was the love of her life. Who became a true nightmare. Her husband was a covert narcissist, hard to believe that someone as feisty and confident as Martina could be manipulated and lied to and accept torturous forms of psychological abuse doled out over more than a decade and accept them because they were served up with a loving smile.Martina is the author of Hello Flower: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hello-Flower-Martina’s website:https://martinagruppo.substack.com/The book Hello Flower details my entire 'love story' from the very first time we met to when I walked away, decades later. I was almost destroyed by the mental abuse but something inside told me enough was enough, before I even realized that what I had been through had a name. This book demonstrates what happens when you have no boundaries, when you 'put up' with treatment which goes against everything you believe in, when the people pleasing empath that you are bends over so completely backwards for everyone else that you lose sight of who you are. Or what you might need. It also gives a deeper insight into how they 'get away with it' over and over again.Less than 24 hours of this interview Martina had someone that was seconds from breaking into her house before SHE stopped them! So she may seem a bit shaken in this interview. She blogged about this experience at:https://martinagruppo.substack.com/p/space-invaders

⚠️Trigger warning ⚠️ Please note that this episode contains depictions of violence that some people may find disturbing.Sometimes you have to look inside to see who you truly want to be - Karen CoccioliThe first line of my book, Paradise, begins with "I came into life stuttering." My speech impediment was only the beginning of a traumatic childhood that left me broken for years. I survived two suicide attempts, twenty years of anorexia, and ten months in a clinic with mental health professionals filling me with drugs while drumming in my head that I wasn't gay. But even though I played by their rules, inside, I never gave up. I always managed to see a light of hope no matter how dim at times until finally, I was free. I learned valuable life lessons along the way that I want to share about redemption, forgiveness, authenticity and ultimately love. The last line of Paradise is: "I'd never be silenced again.Karens book: ParadiseIG: https://www.instagram.com/karenannecoccioli/FB: https://www.facebook.com/karenanne.coccioli/Website: https://www.karenannecoccioli.com/
